You Spin Me Right Round

My Project

Sometimes it's the simple things that make all the difference. Sometimes it's the building blocks of life. Over the years, I've found that when 5th graders study things like the nervous system, genetics, and adaptations, it takes tons of visuals to drive the point home. After all, these are complicated concepts!

By having visual aids that engage the mind and enrichment activities to stretch their thinking, we can ensure our kids have the foundation necessary to tackle these tough topics.

These are the things from school that kids remember! Help me make more of those wonderful memories!

Additionally, some of our storage solutions have begun to wear out and need replacement. These new shelves will not only replace the old ones but help save room so that there's more space for movement during learning!
